A DATE IN NOVEMBER...

A Special Wedding Date

Brides aren't usually clamoring to get married on a Tuesday in November. But with November 12 of this year translating to 11/12/13, thousands of soon-to-be-wed couples are choosing that very date to say “I do.”

While Saturday is still the most popular day of the week to wed around the world, many couples are putting the date ahead of the day.  “It does not matter if the date falls in the middle of the week or on the weekend.” 

We began tracking wedding date trends after approximately 66,000 couples decided to get married on 07/07/07. We think brides look for special dates because that’s how they want their weddings to be remembered. For 11/12/13, we are projecting about 2,300 weddings that day compared to a little over 350 that took place last year.

Although it’s one thing to choose a date that sounds catchy, numerologist Julian Michael says that there can sometimes be a deeper meaning behind these dates.

“It’s really more about the numbers than the dates themselves.” according to another wedding guru – Michael Beitler. “There are a lot of philosophies about certain numbers. If you look at 11/12/13, the number 11 is really significant. You see it everywhere and some people who believe its connection to angels make a wish whenever they see it.”

But for those of us who aren’t fluent in the language of numerology, just seeing a special pattern of numbers will prompt people to choose a date because it appears to be symbolic. If you look at 11/12/13 or 11/11/11, people may not know the meaning behind each number but they will think, ‘Wow, this must mean something’.

The final shot brides and grooms will have at marrying on a consecutive date will be 12/13/14 and we are projecting an increase in weddings, and we know that every couple wants to get hitched in December.  

Numbers like this ignite our superstitions and our search for meaning. People think we must be special if we're the only generation to ever see this sequential date, right?”

Whether or not brides choose their wedding dates with more meaning than others, there is an inadvertent perk to iconic dates. It will make it easier for husbands to remember anniversaries!.
